KDE equivalent to Gnomes CPU frequency scaling monitor?


I am looking for a KDE "version" of CPU frequency scaling monitor. I have used Gnome panels with Plasma desktop before to override this issue, but I want to see what I can do with a "pure" KDE environment.

Couple of questions for you...what distro are you using and which package manager? You state you are using KDE, but nothing else about your system. You have the link to the cpu monitor you use as being http://library.gnome.org/users/cpufr...uction.html.en

The differences between KDE and Gnome, while not really that drastic, do allow for different apps based upon the distro. Have you tried to install the Gnome DTE and use the applet on KDE? Here is what I would do, if I were messing with it. Find the module and all it's dependencies. Download it, but do not try to install it on KDE yet. Depending on what kind of system you are working with (one that accepts .rpm or .deb or what ever) is dependent upon what format you will need to convert the package to.

But, find the package and it's dependencies and then convert / recompile it into a fully functional part of your DTE....

Let me know what you find....

OS behind the desktop

I am running Pinguy 32 bit with PAE, the default desktop environment is Gnome 2.3, and the package managers available to me are synaptic, aptitude, ailurus, and the ubuntu software center. I have used the scaling monitor for Gnome for a few years now it works really well and attaches to panel. The alternative I desire would show all my processors with their current clock speed, and give me the ability to clock each processor/core independently of one another.

Also all of the dependencies are met for frequency scaling on this machine, as I have used the scaling system on Gnome on this same system/computer.
